>>What's your best guess as to what is happening today...I really don't see this as a technical bounce. Maybe more like some deals coming closer to fruition...this is very aggressive buying...ain't it great????<
The only thing that I can think of is that this announcement appeared on the StockHouse thread earlier this morning. I am almost embarrassed to say that I hadn't seen it as yet. Take this announcement together with Don Sandford's comments about how popular NSI and Answers.com's technology is becoming amongst the larger Fortune 500 firms, and there may be a few people now beginning to realize what we have known all along. This company is for real, and it is going places!
